ABSTRACT Exhumed high‐P/low‐T complexes are of paramount importance to directly access rocks that experienced subduction zone processes. However, the original tectono‐metamorphic fabrics are often partially obliterated by exhumation and later deformation, hindering our understanding of the processes occurring at depth.

Outline of the Variscan basement of Sardinia [PDF]
In Sardinia a quasi-complete section of the southern branch of the Variscan orogenic belt crops out, characterized by non-metamorphosed to high-grade rocks, whose age ranges from Early Cambrian to Early Carboniferous, and that are involved in a complex polyphase deformation.

Primeros datos del magmatismo pérmico medio-superior del SE de la Cordillera Ibérica: caracterización y comparación con magmatismos contemporáneos del Tethys occidental [PDF]
A multiple basic to intermediate sill is reported for the first time in the south-eastern Iberian Ranges. It is composed of several tabular to irregular levels intercalated within the fluvial sediments of the Alcotas Formation (Middle-Upper Permian). The

Abstract The Variscan and Alpine long‐term thermal evolution of the European paleomargin in the external Western Alps is still unknown, although important for reconstructing the geodynamic evolution of this orogen. Here we combine zircon fission track and apatite fission track and U‐Pb double dating analyses of the Pelvoux massif in the Western Alps ...

Abstract The Mediterranean region provides a natural laboratory for studying complex deformation resulting from body forces and interactions between the convergence of the Africa and Eurasia plates since the Cretaceous. These interactions led to the formation of a mosaic of basins and orogenic domains, whose intrinsically complex evolution over time is

ABSTRACT Orogenic wedges juxtapose tectonic units that originated far from each other, and tracing these back to their origin is often difficult. We have studied two contrasting serpentinite–sediment associations of the Alpine‐Apennine orogenic wedge of eastern Elba Island with the help of a detrital zircon study of the sediments and a geochemical ...

ABSTRACT Phase equilibrium modelling is a powerful method for obtaining pressure–temperature (P–T) estimates in metapelites; however, the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of applying this technique to greenschist‐facies pelites have received little attention.

Genesis and emplacement of felsic Variscan plutons within a deep crustal lineation, the Penacova-Regua-Verin fault: An integrated geophysics and geochemical study (NW Iberian Peninsula) [PDF]
Multidisciplinary studies integrating, U-Pb geochronology, whole-rock geochemical data, isotope geochemistry, anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) studies and gravimetry were carried out on the Vila Pouca de Aguiar and the Aguas Frias-Chaves ...

Gravity field and geothermal structure of the Corsica‐Sardinia Block
Abstract This paper presents a finite‐differences 3D numerical model that simulates the gravity and thermal structure of the Corsica‐Sardinia Block (CSB), an apparently stable lithospheric domain characterized by cryptic tectonic activity. In the experiments, we change the density and heat production rate of the model crust within a range of ...
